Jeremy Vine gives black cab driver benefit of the doubt

Jeremy Vine's left this one up to us to decide if the taxi driver was in the wrong here. Clearly the broadcaster had right of way, although it sounds like he has some sympathy for the driver considering the road Jeremy came out of is one-way, except for the cycle lane which had roadworks. On the other hand, Vine also showed a picture of the sign telling drivers to give way to oncoming cyclists... certainly not the worst London cycling clip he's shared...Two weeks ago he shared this clip of a driver blaring his horn as he passed, only to get stopped at the next set of lights...Or how about the motorist driving in the Hyde Park cycle lane...

Some have even suggested that Jeremy was in the wrong for cycling up a one-way street when the cycle lane is closed. That point has been rebutted by Vine who says the sign in the video shows the lane is still open...Have a watch, have a read and make your own minds up...

What was the point of his blast on the horn?

The idiot taxi driver nearly wiped Jeremy out by turning right instead of giving way to him, of course.

If the driver had nearly wiped him out he would not have had time to
hoot. The first driver going through would have put anybody on their
guard for a tailgater following on. It was much too late to get the
driver to change course so served no purpose other than to release his
irritation. Just as happens with many drivers.
